CARROLLTON, Texas, Oct. 19, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Attendees of the 2011 Realtors Conference and Expo can take advantage of innovative REO training offered by Vendor Resource Management through its VRM University on November 14-15 at the Hyatt Regency Orange County. The Realtors Conference and Expo attracts real estate professionals from across the U.S. and around the world. This year's event is expected to draw 18,000 members and guests.

Because banks are struggling to maintain and sell the current glut of REO housing inventory, and real estate firms are either languishing or shutting down, the comprehensive training offered by VRM University is vital for today's real estate professional. The VRMU certification course, now eligible for 12 MCE credits from the Texas Real Estate Commission, equips real estate professionals to value, market and sell REO properties quickly.

Through VRM University, real estate professionals can position themselves to serve as expert REO specialists and qualified solution providers who can competently assist buyers, sellers and communities in navigating the current housing landscape. "VRM established VRM University to ensure our supplier network matches our ability to provide 'Best in Class' services to our customers", said VRM Founder, President and CEO Keith D. Murray. "It's important for service providers to be aligned with their customers. VRM University helps to get everyone on the same page", added Mr. Murray. Training is provided by veteran real estate practitioners, including Keller Williams' # 1 sales agent, Leonardo Pareja, who offer decades of experience in the REO industry. Attendees will be exposed to great new marketing techniques and will learn how to leverage online tools and technology for maximum results. By attending VRMU Real estate professionals will also discover the importance of industry news and how it applies to their local offices.
